About the Artists
Ezekiel Honig's emotively warm electronic-acoustic music nestles into a comfortable, shared space between melodic event-driven ambient, muted techno, textural downtempo, and slowmotion house. Using these genres as reference points from which to stray, Honig utilizes everyday objects and spaces amidst processed instruments, tethering to our physical universe while eschewing any concerns of figurative reality. Plastic, metal, wood, and air coalesce with Rhodes, guitar, horns, and piano, creating a sound of contrast and contradiction, pairing inviting, fuzzy chords with clunky and dirty mishaps. Honig finds this sense of balance - of past and future, acoustic and digital, abstraction and concrete immediacy - by grounding himself in the idea that a sound can be a representation of infinite stories, emotions, possibilities, and simultaneously be just a sound to be used in a work of audio.

Special Guests
Sean Smith has been involved in the underground music scene in NYC since moving there in the late 1990s. He started the band Socks and Sandals with Clark ov Saturn and they played live, improvisational electronic shows in dance clubs and art galleries, and released records on NYC’s Microcosm Music. Sean played solo shows, spanning genres from experimental improvisation to dance club music. Under the pseudonym Nicholas Sauser, he released records and remixes and co-founded the record label Goosehound, which operated in the minimal techno scene of the mid-2000s. Sean maintains a slow, but consistent pace these days when it comes to music productions. Stylistically, he blends decades and genres into groove-based music with one foot planted somewhere in the past and one in a personal vision of the future.
